(3E,7Z)-Tetradecadienyl acetate, the major sex pheromone component of the potato pest Symmetrischema tangolias (Gyen), was stereoselectively synthesized from the commercially available 3-bromo-1-propanol via the stereospecific reduction of alkyne with lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) and the Wittig reaction.
